Description: In
collaboration with Nicole M. Cain (Rutgers) and Chiara De Panfilis (Univ. of
Parma), our work has evaluated the negatively biased distortions exhibited in
identifying facial emotions and mental states in those with borderline and
narcissistic personality psychopathology. We have sought to distinguish at
what point along a complex and unfolding process of identifying, labeling, and
inferring from facial expressions a biased appraisal emerges in those with
personality and trauma-based pathologies:
